Despite all the media hype and expectation from the general public, the spring tourist season in Nepal seems to have nosedived in comparison to the last few years. End of March and the streets are still deserted, the shops empty, makes you wonder what went wrong?
Meanwhile, the Hotel Association of Nepal (HAN) has scheduled different international programs targeting Nepal Tourism Year. In a bid to sensitize the world about Nepal’s tourism, a painting from the famous US cartoonist Ranan Lurie is being taken to Mt. Everest. Lurie’s painting has been exhibited at Lobby, New York, South Korea and Israel to disseminate the message of peace and harmony.
In addition to this HAN will also be holding the World Congress of International Hotel and Restaurant Association from Nov 30to Dec 02 targeting Nepal Tourism Year 2011. The association has over 300,000 hotels and million restaurants from all over the world as its members.
